Description

Description:

Runs given statement every frame. Template:Feature arma3

Groups:

Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:

onEachFrame statement

Parameters:

statement: String or Code

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

onEachFrame { hintSilent str position player}; // Hints position every frame

Example 2:

Private variables defined outside of the onEachFrame scope are not inherited: _myvar = "bob"; myvar = "bill"; onEachFrame { hintSilent str [_myvar, myvar]; }; // Result: [any,"bill"]

Example 3:

Only one onEachFrame loop can exist at any time: onEachFrame { player sideChat "first"; }; onEachFrame { player sideChat "second"; }; // Result: "second", "second", "second"... Note how "first" never gets shown even though it precedes "second". This is because script thread is executing within the same frame and first onEachFrame is overwritten before it has a chance to execute its statement.

Example 4:

Script suspension is not permitted within onEachFrame scope: // Will throw an error onEachFrame { sleep 1; };

Example 5:

onEachFrame {}; // Reset event

Triggers in the frame its executed from, so for example: onEachFrame { << code >> onEachFrame {}; }; Will always execute the given code, within the frame that the command was processed in.
